We all can do that, but subjectiveness does not equal truth. So I take that for what's its worth. Life is better by sticking to the Word of God rather than personal opinions. We all have them. Here's what I do...instead of trying to "correct" people all the time, I try to follow Jesus example and let them know you I'm praying for them. Not every one agrees with me (Hard to believe I know ), instead of me trying to "push" my will on them, I pray for them. Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; I'm trying to understand this comment. Please help me understand, it seems you're using the same type of behavior as those you are accusing. This is the biblical approach: "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness" (2 Tim. 3:16). Your biblical approach sounds Christlike but is lacking. You know Proverbs is full of advice on correcting. It's not comfortable but it is necessary for fostering healthy environments. Robust interaction is one thing. However, by way of one example, do you condone an administrator saying to a newcomer, or anybody for that matter, "Oh, knock off the whining about being judged"?
